over the Red Sea, the Pentagon announced shortly after issuing a press release about another successful bombing raid against Houthi targets in Yemen.
The F/A-18 was shot down by the guided-missile cruiser USS Gettysburg after taking off from the USS Harry S. Truman aircraft carrier, US Central Command (CENTCOM) confirmed early Sunday morning. The two Navy pilots were able to eject from the fighter jet and were recovered safely." RT
